It took a sports car maker such as Porsche to truly put the sport into the sport utility vehicle with its Cayenne, Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo models. The Cayennes possess amazingly athletic capabilities. And in the case of the Cayennes with their Porsche Traction Management technology, these capabilities are not limited to paved roads.
The Porsche Cayenne is powered by a 250-horsepower, 3.2-liter V6 engine. When equipped with the standard six-speed manual transmission, the Cayenne can accelerate from a standing start to 60 mph in only 8.5 seconds. The Cayenne is available with an optional six-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission.
The Cayenne S version carries has an impressive powertrain that combines Porsche's 340-horsepower, 4.5-liter V8 engine with the six-speed Tiptronic S transmission.
